Hi JJG,This problem existed for a long time.There is ambiguity in the question "Balloon size:" Is this the diameter or radius of the balloon?If you get the info box opens, you will find as "radius" 1/4 of your specified size.And if you measure the diameter of the "balloon" the result is 50% of the desired size.I have this problem already addressed in the time of version 17. But there is no consequence to data.

I have the V18.35 (Designcad pro 7000, french) and Designcad V19, where in both there is not this problem ... I discover it just in V21 and similar (pro 8000, french), I'm sure of that.That's why I report it here.I aggre that there is no consequence for data, but it may be fixed : balloons are considered as dimensions, so their text-size must be the dimension text-size, like it was before, in previous versions.

The Balloon and Pullout settings are lumped into the Dimension options for convenience, but in reality they are text functions and not dimensions!

The whole dimension options settings have been reworked in V21. Unfortunately the Balloon and Pullout has still errors.

Right now the Balloon text size is not based on the Normal Text size, it is based on the Pullout text size (go figure). Secondly, the balloon text size cannot be set separately, nor can it be flagged as to be the same as the normal text size. The Balloon's greyed out same as normal text flag is trigger by the one from the linear dimension (sick). These should all be fixed.

The balloon size is based on the text size, however I noticed that often the text size is scaled up/down to fit the balloon. The balloon size is the diameter. There is work to done here.
